New Year, Same Me!

It's an interesting journey, this thing called life. Some days it seems so dissatisfying and yet others are full of contentment. So many times I have stood in the mirror naked and been upset at what I saw. So many days I have poured over the circles under my eyes. For one reason or another 2015 has liberated me from my own harsh judgement (at least for now). I have a wonderful husband who supports me and dotes on me constantly. I have a great circle of friends who are always there for a laugh or long talk or just some retail therapy. I have a crazy family that is always a phone call away. I just feel...at peace. I am grateful, I am satisfied, I am happy. What a big thing for anyone. It's often so easy to slip into negativity. In this day and age of social media, when everyone is so busy shoving their highlight reel in your face, it is easy to start comparing yourself to others and forget about all the great shit you already have going for you. If there is something in your life you want to change, get out there and do it but don't turn a blind eye to all the wonderful things you already have. Accept the flaws you have and flaws in others, then move forward. No one ever got anywhere in life by wallowing in self pity. Change what you can, embrace what you can't, and appreciate all that life has to offer. You only get one. Don't waste it.
